“Poetry is the prince of the literary arts to me. It's at the very top because it's language refined to its apex of memorability. I am interested in poetry as memorability and poetry as something you live by. These are the words you live by. These words stay in your brain and guide your life. That's what I am interested in. My memoir slash autofiction is called Borges and Me, and as you know, it's a story of my time in 1970 when my best friend Billy was drafted for the Vietnam War, and so was I. He went to Vietnam, and I went to Scotland to hide out and do my graduate work. I spent nearly seven years in Scotland, but I certainly spent the next five years definitely in Scotland. I was there before as an undergraduate for a bit, too. During that time, Billy was killed in Vietnam, and I was a nervous wreck. My memoir talks about my depression, my anxieties, and then, through my friend Alastair Reid, I met Borges, the great Argentine writer. We went on a little road trip through the Highlands, and this conversation with Borges really restored me back to myself and what was important in life. I felt that I owed a huge amount to that contact with Borges… I was lucky that suddenly, out of nowhere, came a wonderful director-producer named Mark Turtletaub. He had read my book and loved it, and he approached me. We had a conversation, and he said, ‘Look, I want to make this movie.' So off we went.”It's a real pleasure today to welcome a writer whose voice has been a guiding force in American letters for decades. Jay Pariniis the author of acclaimed biographies of literary giants like John Steinbeck, Robert Frost, William Faulkner, and Gore Vidal—as well as an illuminating portrait of Jesus in The Human Face of God. He's also a celebrated poet, novelist, essayist, and teacher whose work reflects a lifelong devotion to the arts, the humanities, and the power of language to tell the truth, gently. From his poetry to his prose, Jay's writing brings rare insight and deep compassion to the page. He doesn't just study his subjects—he inhabits them, helps us hear their voices, and see the world through their eyes. And of course, he's one of the few people who can say they've gotten into the heads of both Jesus and Gore Vidal...and lived to tell the tale.Episode Websitewww.creativeprocess.info/podInstagram:@creativeprocesspodcast

In this NBN episode, host Hollay Ghadery speaks with John Devore about his phenomenal memoir, Theatre Kids: A True Tale of Off-Off Broadway (Applause, 2024). Friendship. Grief. Jazz hands. In 2004, in a small, windowless theater in then-desolate Williamsburg, Brooklyn, an eccentric family of broke art-school survivors staged an experimental, four-hour adaptation of William Faulkner's novel As I Lay Dying inside an enormous wooden coffin that could barely fit the cast, much less an audience.The production's cast and crew—including its sweetly monomaniacal director—poured their hearts and paychecks into a messy spectacle doomed to fail by any conventional measure. It ran for only eight performances. The reviews were tepid. Fewer than one hundred people saw it. But to emotionally messy hack magazine editor John DeVore, cast at the last minute in a bit part, it was a safe space to hide out and attempt sobering up following a devastating loss.An unforgettable ode to the ephemeral, chaotic magic of the theatre and the weirdos who bring it to life, Theatre Kids is DeVore's buoyant, irreverent, and ultimately moving account of outsize ambition and dashed hopes in post-9/11, pre-iPhone New York City. Sharply observed and bursting with hilarious razzle-dazzle, it will resonate with anyone who has ever, perhaps against their better judgment, tried to bring something beautiful into the world without regard for riches or fame. About John DeVore: John DeVore is a two-time James Beard Award–winning writer and editor who has worked for The New York Post, SiriusXM, and Conan O'Brien's Team Coco.

Il mondo, tutto sommato, lo conosciamo. No? Siamo arrivati a una certa età. Abbiamo, chi più, chi meno, studiato, viaggiato, letto, visto, conosciuto. Eppure abbiamo sempre la sensazione che ci sia qualcosa di più. Qualcosa di nascosto. I libri, da sempre, servono a fare luce su quello che a un primo sguardo non si vede, dell'universo e delle persone che ci circondano. Di noi, per primi. Non è un discorso religioso, ma umano: gli scrittori che incontreremo con Alice parlano di donne e uomini, e cercano di illuminare un po' del mistero che si portano dietro.Non si vedono, ma ci sono, l'inquietudine e la violenza che si agitano sotto la superficie della tranquilla cittadina di Harmony, che fa da sfondo all'ultimo romanzo di Michael Bible, Goodbye Hotel (Adelphi). Alla sua seconda prova letteraria tradotta in italiano dopo L'ultima cosa bella sulla faccia della Terra, lo scrittore originario del North Carolina ritrova le atmosfere della grande letteratura del Sud degli Stati Uniti, una tradizione che passa per William Faulkner e Flannery O'Connor, rinnovata con l'applicazione di un'ironia che sa essere tenera e spietata allo stesso tempo. Non si vede, nascosto agli occhi del mondo, il rifugio del protagonista di La finestra sul porto (Feltrinelli), nuova prova narrativa di Claudio Piersanti. È un uomo pieno di segreti, l'avvocato immaginato dallo scrittore e sceneggiatore italiano, e finirà al centro di un triangolo amoroso, tra estasi e tragedia. E serve proprio a rendere visibili le cose, la letteratura, secondo Paolo Nori. O almeno, così scrive nel suo ultimo Chiudo la porta e urlo. Che racconta la storia di un poeta – chi meglio di un poeta può usare le parole per svelare il mistero? – che lo stesso Nori ama: Raffaello Baldini, che ha scritto tutta la vita in dialetto romagnolo. Ma poi, in realtà, il libro parla soprattutto di Nori stesso, e di tutti noi: con tono ironico, a tratti esilarante, montando con ritmo sincopato brevi frammenti narrativi, tutti singolarmente fulminanti. Il romanzo è nella cinquina dei finalisti del Premio Strega 2025.Chiude la puntata di Alice Mirador, lo spazio in cui voci della letteratura in italiano raccontano le novità letterarie più sorprendenti: oggi Viola di Grado presenta A quattro zampe (Feltrinelli) di Miranda July.undefinedundefinedundefinedundefined

Nuestra biblioteca se amplía esta mañana con la incorporación de William Faulkner y la reedición de Las palmeras salvajes, una profunda reflexión acerca de la libertad, la opresión y la soledad; una lectura "extraordinaria en búsqueda de la libertad en dos historias independientes".Por otro lado, nos propone bucear en la cultura japonesa con El futón, de Tayama Katai, un libro inspirado en la tensión entre la tradición y la modernidad, y la doble moral; y visitar los clásicos como La metamorfosis, de Kafka, y Peter Pan y Wendy, para volver al país de Nunca Jamás.

In this episode of The First Day from The Fundraising School, host Bill Stanczykiewicz, Ed.D., reconnects with his longtime mentor and fundraising sage, Tim Seiler, Ph.D., Director Emeritus of The Fundraising School. Together, they dive into a topic that's more relevant than ever: how to navigate the stormy seas of fundraising during uncertain times. Dr. Seiler shares war stories from his early fundraising days, reflecting on crises from the 1987 stock market crash to today's mix of economic and social uncertainties. His message? While fundraisers can't control the turbulence, they can control their approach, and it starts with what he calls “rational hope.” Dr. Seiler unpacks this idea of rational hope, steering us away from the siren song of blind optimism. Instead, he champions a clear-headed, proactive mindset: keep reaching out to donors, but with empathy and creativity. Forget about relentless asks, instead, update them on your mission's progress, share ideas, and show them you're still standing tall. He shares his own experiences as a donor receiving thoughtful “just checking in” messages from nonprofits, illustrating how these gestures reinforce connection and purpose. As Seiler says, it's about reminding donors not just of the need, but of the joy and satisfaction that comes from making a difference. The conversation also explores a delicate, often unspoken challenge in the nonprofit world: fundraisers' hesitancy to admit when times are tough. Dr. Seiler and Stanczykiewicz shine a light on this vulnerability, encouraging transparency and authenticity. They argue that sharing struggles, whether it's a budget cut or a missed goal—doesn't signal failure; it signals humanity. This honesty not only builds trust but also invites donors to become part of the solution. As Seiler puts it, “If it were easy, we wouldn't need fundraisers.” Or in the words of A League of Their Own: “The hard is what makes it great.” Wrapping up, the episode channels a rousing spirit of resilience, celebrating the enduring generosity of donors who bounce back time after time, through recessions, crises, and even pandemics. With references to the classic wisdom of Henry Rosso and a dash of literary flair from William Faulkner and Walt Whitman, this episode offers fundraisers a playbook for tough times: stay hopeful but realistic, be persistent, and never forget the shared humanity that fuels philanthropy. Bottom line? Keep swinging for the fences. Fundraising's not for the faint of heart, but it's worth every pitch.

In this powerful and deeply personal episode, host Ian Henzel sits down with acclaimed author Richard Compson Sater to explore his life, military service, and the evolution of his writing career. Best known for his novels “Thirst” and “Rank,” Sater opens up about growing up gay in the 1970s, navigating the complexities of identity while serving in the U.S. Air Force, and how these experiences continue to shape his literary voice. From the timeless influence of William Faulkner to the creative intersection of visual and written storytelling, this conversation offers a rich look into the mind of a writer whose work bridges personal truth and artistic expression. Whether you're a fan of LGBTQ literature, a fellow writer, or someone who appreciates honest storytelling, this episode offers valuable insights into the transformative power of books—and the lives they reflect.

Air Date 5/18/2025 The full quote from today's title is from one of the most celebrated writers of Southern American literature, William Faulkner, who said, "The past is never dead. It's not even past. All of us labor in webs spun long before we were born, webs of heredity and environment, of desire and consequence, of history and eternity.” The new film, Sinners, set in the Jim Crow South, attempts to take on some of the subjects that make up that web of history and consequence. The theme of today's episode is an attempt to dig into many of the subjects of the film. Be part of the show!

This podcast provides an overview of fascism as both an ideology and a political tactic. In what ways was Nazi Germany a typical fascist state? This episode is one small part of my larger podcast series called "Nazi Germany and the Battle for the Human Heart."  How does something like the rise of Nazi Germany happen? Why? Who's responsible? What is fascism? What did it mean to be a Nazi? What role did the average person have in the development of the Nazi state? How responsible is the ordinary person in the development of great evil? How did nazism infect schools, institutions, and bureaucracy? Just how racist was the average person in Germany at the time? Why did the Holocaust happen? Who were the killers and why did they do it? Did anyone stand up to all of this evil? This series is an attempt to answer all of these questions in the specific context of Nazi Germany, and to show that as William Faulkner once said, "the only thing worth writing about is the human heart in conflict with itself." It's based on an audio course I made several years ago called "Nazi Germany and the Battle for the Human Heart," with some brand new added content, remastered audio, and a new introduction and conclusion.

Whether you are someone who is reading the novel for academic purposes, or you simply want to enjoy an incredible story for it's own sake, this podcast series goes chapter by chapter into the plot, characters, and themes of the book...“The Beauty of the House is immeasurable; it's kindness infinite.” Piranesi lives in an infinite house, with no long-term memory and only a loose sense of identity. As the secrets of the House deepen and the mystery of his life becomes more sinister, Piranesi must discover who he is and how this brings him closer to the “Great and Secret Knowledge” that the House contains. Touching on themes of memory, identity, mental health, knowledge, reason, experience, meaning, reflection, ideals, and more…Piranesi will be remembered as one of the great books of the 21st century.

In this gripping and profoundly informative conversation, I sit down with Izabella Tabarovsky, a leading scholar of Soviet anti-Zionism and contemporary left antisemitism. Tabarovsky is a Senior Fellow at the Z3 Institute for Jewish Priorities and a Research Fellow at both the London Centre for the Study of Contemporary Antisemitism and ISGAP.Drawing from her years of research on Soviet propaganda and its legacy, Tabarovsky unpacks how virulently antisemitic forms of "anti-Zionism" were central to Cold War-era Communist ideology—and how many of these same tropes and tactics have re-emerged in today's far-left discourse. From the Soviet Union's deployment of conspiracy theories linking Zionism to Nazism to the global campaign that culminated in the infamous 1975 UN Resolution declaring Zionism a form of racism, we trace how these narratives were manufactured, exported, and normalized.Tabarovsky argues that, to quote William Faulkner, “the past is not dead, it is not even past.” Soviet-era antisemitic anti-Zionism, she shows, has left behind a “toxic ideological brew” that still shapes public conversations, academic discourse, and political movements in the West.Topics discussed:The Soviet Union's anti-Zionist propaganda machine and the role of the KGBHow antisemitism was masked as political critiqueThe use of prominent Soviet Jews in anti-Zionist campaignsThe parallels between Cold War-era propaganda and modern leftist antisemitismThe ideological roots of contemporary far-left anti-Zionist rhetoric

And now for something completely different... featuring one of past guests & fellow authors Ace Atkins, Megan Abbott, & William Boyle's dearest friends. The first half of this week's episode with Oxford, Mississippi based ADVENTURE TIME & SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS screenwriter, voice actor, & author Jack Pendarvis is a freewheeling anything goes conversation about writing, shovels, William Faulkner cosplay, hitchhiking with butter knives, Saint Augustine, showers, & anything else that popped into our heads. Taking a look at two films about the creative process in the more classically Watch With Jen formatted second half of this discussion, we investigate two of Jack's favorite movies in director Anthony Mann's classic musical biopic THE GLENN MILLER STORY & one of Pedro Almodovar's greatest masterworks, PAIN AND GLORY. This season, I'm aiming to sprinkle in some more casual conversations with artists of all backgrounds into our traditional friendly analytic approach because right now, it feels like we're all so isolated, stressed, & wary that I'm hoping these occasional offbeat episodes might spark a little joy, discovery, & creativity for you along the way as well.Originally Posted on Patreon (4/7/25) here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/126066237Shop Watch With Jen logo Merchandise in Logo Designer Kate Gabrielle's Threadless ShopDonate to the Pod via Ko-fi Theme Music: Solo Acoustic Guitar by Jason Shaw, Free Music Archive

Francesco Marangi"Angeli di sale"Polidoro Editorewww.alessandropolidoroeditore.itSiamo in un paese della costa ligure, tra gli ulivi e il mare. Pietro, maggiore di tre fratelli, torna nella sua casa natale per far visita al padre malato. Il suo ritorno apre una voragine che rimescola il tempo, lo inghiotte, lo dilata e rende i fratelli mere apparenze al cospetto del passato. Le voci dei protagonisti si confondono e si contraddicono e il paesaggio si deforma. Ogni cosa rimane trasfigurata dentro ricordi tragici che non si è in grado di raccontare con chiarezza, se non con la crudeltà di un'allucinazione dolorosa.Riemergono vecchi rancori, promesse, l'abbandono della madre, le violenze, l'amore di Pietro per Maria, la vicina di casa che insieme al fratello Enrico era loro compagna di giochi fin dall'infanzia. E poi la decisione di Pietro di andare lontano per non tornare più. Il vento, il mare, l'estate di ombre urlanti; ogni cosa è rumorosa. Nel frattempo, un segreto viperino progredisce con il peso mitologico di un'annunciata dannazione. Spetterà a Pietro – specie di addolorato e indemoniato Ulisse –, ricondurre tutto al principio risolutivo degli eventi.Francesco Marangi ci consegna un esordio sperimentale, di adulta poeticità, che si affaccia a Mentre morivo di William Faulkner, al romanzo oscuro La fornace di Thomas Bernhard, fino a  ricavare dalla mitologica poesia di Wallace Stevens  la delicatezza della carne senza mai divorarla.Francesco Marangi è nato a Genova nel 1998 e risiede a Varazze. Sta per conseguire la laurea triennale in Scrittura e Contemporary Humanities presso la Scuola Holden di Torino. Ha svolto vari lavori, nelle serre come aiuto bracciante e sulle spiagge come bagnino. Ha partecipato altre due volte al Premio Calvino con i romanzi Delirio in rosso e L'artista violento.

Jun Fujita is the Japanese-American photographer behind some of the most recognizable photographs taken in Chicago in the 20th century, including his shots of the St. Valentine's Day Massacre of 1929, the Eastland passenger boat disaster of 1915, and the 1919 Chicago race riots. Fujita was also a published poet and something of a regional celebrity, known for socializing with William Faulkner and Ernest Hemingway. Fujita's foreign identity also made him the subject of government inquiry and suspicion on multiple occasions — during both World War I and World War II — according to Graham Lee, Fujita's great-nephew and the author of a new Fujita biography, “Jun Fujita: Behind the Camera.” After Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor, Fujita's assets were frozen, his business was shuttered, his cameras were taken away, and he constrained himself to Chicago to avoid possible internment, Lee said. How did Fujita navigate this perilous time for an immigrant in Chicago? We sat down with Lee to discuss how Fujita, a “supremely confident person,” came to rely on both the support of his community and his wits.

Finding a cause worth dying for is no great trick—the Universe is full of them. Finding one worth living for is the genuine problem! Orphans of the Void by Michael Shaara. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.How many vintage science fiction authors won a Pulitzer Prize? Ray Bradbury never won a Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, but received a Pulitzer Special Citation in 2007 for his impact on literature. The answer is three. Booth Tarkington, MacKinlay Kantor and Michael Shaara. Booth Tarkington is one of only four novelists to win the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction more than once, along with William Faulkner, John Updike, and Colson Whitehead. Tarkington wrote only three short sci-fi stories. MacKinlay Kantor wrote eight short sci-fi stories and one science fiction novel If the South Had Won the Civil War released in 1961.Michael Shaara is the most well known of the three. Shaara was born in Jersey City, New Jersey in 1928. Before he began selling sci-fi for 2 cents a word in the 1950s he was a boxer and a police officer. He won his Pulitzer for his novel about the Battle of Gettysburg, The Killer Angels which won the award in 1975, and was showcased on the big screen in the 1993 movie Gettysburg starring Tom Berenger and Martin Sheen.Shaara also wrote the 1991 novel For Love of the Game which was made into the 1999 film with the same name starring Kevin Costner and Kelly Preston. But it all began back in 1952. He wrote two dozen short sci-fi stories and this was his first. From Galaxy Science Fiction in June 1952, we will discover this tale of artificial intelligence, and the fate of a forgotten world on page 78, Orphans of the Void by Michael Shaara...Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Renwick, with too much time on his hands, was bored. He turned to Mead, in his discontent, only to discover some frightening aspects of his friend's hobby of collecting children's games and rhymes.

Dr. Scott Yarbrough, PhD is a professor of English at Charleston Southern University, as well as the host of two literary podcasts, Reading McCarthy & Great American Novel out of Charleston, South Carolina. This episode is dedicated to the hunting novella, The Bear by America's 20th-century literary master, William Faulkner. After a reading, we begin with Faulkner's biography as Scott describes the major themes within his writing: the southern gothic push back to the over-romanticization of the old south; race & the aftermath of slavery; time & history; and the tension between loving & hating where one comes from. Then we turn to a discussion, synopsis & analysis of The Bear, Faulkner's coming-of-age novella about a boy's hunting camp as they search for a dog powerful enough to bay the mythic bear, Old Ben, that haunts a 100-square miles of Mississippi wilderness that soon will vanish under the logger's ax. Woven throughout are conversations about: the evolution of language; writers that hunt; "toxic masculinity;" bear symbolism; the wildness within; Scott's rural upbringing; city-dwellers appreciating southern literature; and last but not least, William Faulkner's feist dogs!Reading from Big Woods: The Hunting Stories by William Faulkner. Check out Scott's podcasts, Reading McCarthy and Great American Novel Podcast.Support Our Numinous Nature on Patreon.Follow Our Numinous Nature & my naturalist illustrations on InstagramCheck out my shop of shirts, prints, and books featuring my artContact: herbaceoushuman@gmail.com

William Faulkner, The Art of Fiction No. 12, The Paris Review. Noventa e nove por cento de talento... Noventa e nove por cento de disciplina... Noventa e nove por cento de trabalho. Não se preocupe apenas em ser melhor do que seus contemporâneos ou antecessores. Tente ser melhor do que você mesmo. Um artista é uma criatura guiada por demônios. Ele não sabe por que eles o escolheram e, em geral, está ocupado demais para se perguntar por quê. Ele é totalmente amoral, pois roubará, pedirá emprestado, implorará ou roubará de qualquer pessoa para realizar o trabalho.

As a novelist, short story author, screenwriter, and Nobel laureate, William Faulkner looms large in modern American literature. Yet the very range of his work and the sources for his rich literary worlds often defy easy assessment. In The Life of William Faulkner: The Past Is Never Dead, 1897-1934 (University of Virginia Press, 2020), Carl Rollyson uses both an extensive range of archival collections and Faulkner's wide-ranging literary output to assess the author's life and the development of his many famous works. Growing up in Mississippi, young William absorbed his family's tales and the larger history of the region to which it was tied. Yet it took Faulkner's journeys outside of his community – first to Canada to train as a pilot for the Royal Air Force, then his extended visits to New York and Europe – to gain the perspective necessary to best use them in his writing. After an early foray into poetry Faulkner focused on writing prose, emerging by the end of the 1920s as an acclaimed author of novels and short stories. As Rollyson shows, this fame brought Faulkner to Hollywood, where he demonstrated quickly his ability to write as well for the rapidly emerging medium of talking pictures.  Learn more about your ad choices.
